Synopsis
In the derelict ruins of an abandoned industrial city lit by flickering neon signage, courageous children gather at dusk to play Otokoyo, a secret forbidden game of hide-and-seek. Wearing traditional fox masks, brave youth Hikora and companion Yaimao join five other children to uncover the sinister disappearance of Hikora missing sister. As the mechanical city illuminates, monstrous demonic automatons awaken from the shadows, systematically hunting down and capturing each child. Navigating labyrinthine alleys, Hikora unravels the terrifying truth: the game serves as an industrial harvest feeding the city battery.
